Teachers Eligibility Test qualifying certificate to be valid for a lifetime: Pokhriyal
The Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ on Thursday announced that the government has decided to extend the validity period of the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) qualifying certificate from 7 years to lifetime with retrospective effect from 2011. In 2020, the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) in its 50th meeting of the general body had approved the extension of the TET certificate validity from 7 years to a lifetime.
The respective state governments/UTs will take necessary action to revalidate/issue fresh TET certificates to those candidates whose period of 7 years has already elapsed, he added. The guidelines dated February 11, 2011, of the NCTE, laid down that TET would be conducted by the state governments and the validity of the TET certificate was 7 years from the date of passing TET.
Pokhriyal said this will be a positive step in increasing the employment opportunities for candidates aspiring to make a career in the teaching field.
For a career in the elementary teaching profession in India, passing a relevant TET is mandatory. The national-level Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is conducted by the CBSE and the CTET certificate is accepted when applying for a teaching post in elementary schools. The TET exams are also conducted at the state level by most states.
TET Certificate Validity: अब उम्रभर मान्य रहेगा आपका टीईटी सर्टिफिकेट
TET Validity news: शिक्षक पात्रता परीक्षा को लेकर शिक्षा मंत्रालय ने खुशखबरी दी है। अब टीईटी की वैधता जीवनभर रहेगी। यह नियम वर्ष 2011 से लागू किया जा रहा है।
सरकारी स्कूल्स में शिक्षक की नौकरी पाने के लिए टीईटी पास करना जरूरी है। पहले टीचर्स एलिजिबिलिटी टेस्ट सर्टिफिकेट की वैधता (TET Certificate Validity) सिर्फ 7 साल तक के लिए होती थी। यानी अगर किसी उम्मीदवार ने वर्ष 2011 में टीईटी पास किया, तो उसका सर्टिफिकेट 2018 तक के लिए ही मान्य होता। उसी दौरान वह सरकारी शिक्षक की नौकरी के लिए अप्लाई कर सकता था। लेकिन अब यह बाध्यता खत्म कर दी गई है। आपका टीईटी प्रमाण पत्र अब उम्र भर मान्य रहेगा। हालांकि वर्ष 2011 से पहले टीईटी पास करने वाले उम्मीदवारों के लिए यह नियम लागू नहीं होगा।
